Congrats on those BFP's!! That is soooo exciting to hear!!
Well I'm ready to go. I did my trigger shot last night and it didn't hurt at all, but I'm a little sore today. I'm really nervous and excited about tomorrow's ER. It sounds like everyone's experiences with it have been good. Kristen good luck today and I hope you get lots of eggies!! Well I'll post sometime tomorrow after I'm awake!

Question about maximum number of blasts....
 Hi Ladies,I have a question. Did anyone have more than 2 blasts transferred for the study? If so, were they of a "lesser" quality? I was told that the maximum number of blasts (5 day) they would transfer is 2 unless the blasts were severly fragmented or had other problems. The nurse told me Duramed restricts the number of embryos that can be transferred at blast stage. But I thought I heard of a few ladies who had more than 2 transferred on day 5. Thanks!

Hey everyone! I'm back!!
Ok, so we got 22 eggs, 18 of which were mature and were ICSI'd! So now we sit back and wait till tomorrow. I'm saying so many prayers right now, you guys just don't know! Compared to last time this is truly amazing. Last time, I had only 11 eggs, only 6 were mature and only 1 fertilized so it's already looking better!!! I'm so exhausted so I'm going to bed, oh and my right ovary didn't play nice today and they had to really work on getting my eggs out of that one. They gave me two doses of pain killers before I left and some more vicodin for later and to expect it to be bad. Lovely...LOL. But they didn't have to do the retrieval abdominally. Thanks again for all the well wishes!! I'll catch up soon!!!

Brenda - Congrats on your u/s! I'm so glad everything is progressing well for you.
Stacey/Cheli - Hope you ladies are doing well and resting up! This wait going to seem eternal I think...but well worth it! Molly - Congrats on your fert report. I'm confused as to why they won't transfer 3 on day 3, because that's what I had done - as have several others. I would ask them again about this. Good luck tomorrow and give us an update when you feel up to it! Babywishes - Congratulations on being !! Wonderful news!!Courtney - Congratulations on being !! I understand your cautiousness, but you definitely shouldn't be worried about disappointing other people, you've got enough to worry about girl! Enjoy your moment!Stacey(CA) - Wonderful fert report!! Good luck on your transfer tomorrow! Nicole - Good luck on your ER tomorrow!! Kristen - Congrats on your awesome retreival!! Get lots of rest and I hope the pain isn't too bad for you! I can't wait to hear your fert report!! Faith - Still for you, two days to go!I'm back at work today and very distracted to say the least. There are three people including me in our department and one is on vacation so I'm busier than normal...I just keep telling myself that lots of people get BFPs after doing all kinds of activities so it isn't going to matter how many times I have to go to the other end of building and keep getting up and down. I know I can't wait to get home and rest though! I'm feeling kindof off "down there", have a call in to the nurse...I really hope I'm not getting a yeast infection that would really bumb me out right now! I'm not really prone to them though, maybe had 3 my whole life...we shall see...sorry if TMI! Thinking of and for you all!
